    thanks for the thread benni...

    i kinda doubt you will agree but maybe Hulk to that list too? since he may end up in the PL next year?

    and shit, Mata is just out to win every medal possible. U21 Euro, Euro, CL, not sure if he was in WC squad too, but with a possible Olympic medal that would be quite the haul at age 24. even without it still very impressive

    I don't recall ever watching a full match of Olympic football before. Might give it a go this summer.

    Too many prospects to pick 5. You could get 12-14 from Brazil and Spain alone.

    Winners? Its tough to see past Spain as there are still question marks over this Brazil sides defense [shock]. Uruguay and Mexico are also very good teams. When I saw the initial team for GB, that Rom posted, I thought they could get far, but the real team isnt as good imo.

    I don't hold any hope out for Cleverley to do well. He cannot thrive in an England set up. Far too static, stupid and regressive.

    My only concern for Clev is that he doesn't get injured, honestly.

    All our Olympic guys for that fact.

    Cleverley needs games and I hope he can get them.

    The women have opened the tournement.

    USA is currently losing to France 2-0 in the first 15 minutes.

    EDIT: Wambach pulls one back.

    So I see that USA won 4-2 in the end, sounds like a great comeback.

    Lol, the North Korean team walked off the pitch in protest after their names and pictures were displayed on the big screen next to the South Korean flag. It delayed the kick off by an hour.

    Yeah, it was 2-2 at HT, and I had to leave. Good game in the first for sure.

    Colombian women looking good. [not the footy, their physical appearance, a few of them\]

    I really think it would be best for everyone if Alex Morgan and I had sexual relations.

    Mexico is playing South Korea at the moment. I think should be entertaining, with two teams who love to attack.

    If it would inspire you to put up your tactics for the draft then I'm all for it.
